Test Bench: Oculus Go vs Samsung Gear VR

Want more immersion from your favourite games and apps? Then these VR headsets are worth having a look at

Oculus Go (32GB), £199

The first Oculus, the Rift, cost a fortune and needed a top PC to work. The Go is half the price and all hardware is built in. Games and apps are excitingly immersive, so much so you almost forget you are wearing a heavy, sweaty mask.

Samsung Gear VR, £119

The VR experience is as effective as the Go’s and, like its rival, this headset comes with a wireless handheld controller. It’s more affordable . . . as long as you own a recent Galaxy phone to fit into the headset and do the hard work.
